The Full Monty, Doctor Who, When Saturday Comes and Threads are just some of the famous shows and movies to have been shot at locations across Sheffield, including Park Hill, Meadowhall and Gleadless Valley.
The eagerly-awaited Full Monty TV reboot, featuring the original cast of the film, including Robert Carlyle, is set to hit screens this year on Disney+. Scenes for that were shot around the city, including on what is officially Sheffield’s steepest street. Sheffield also makes an appearance in The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, starring Jim Broadbent, which is due out at cinemas this April.
How many of these settings from films and TV shows shot in Sheffield, featuring stars from Sean Bean to Nicole Kidman, do you recognise?
1. The Full Monty - Shiregreen Club
The most famous and highest grossing film to come out of Sheffield, about an enterprising group of unemployed steelworkers who take up stripping to make ends meet, was shot at locations across the city. The jobcentre on West Street, Parkwood Springs and the canal in Attercliffe all featured, along with Shiregreen Club (pictured), where the final scene was filmed before a real audience. Sadly the former working men's club is now closed. Photo: Steve Ellis
2. Doctor Who - Park Square bridge
Sheffield has played a starring role in series 11 and 12 of Doctor Who, with scenes being shot everywhere from the pictureque Peak District to the more industrial setting beneath the cranes at Wincobank, but it is the Park Hill flats and surrounding spots like Park Square bridge (pictured) which have featured most prominently Photo: Steve Ellis
3. Four Lions - Meersbrook Park
This 2010 dark comedy, directed by Chris Morris, followed a group of young men living in Sheffield and their inept efforts at terrorism. Scenes were shot at locations across Sheffield, including Meersbrook Park (pictured), The Wicker, The Moor and a terrace near the Tinsley Viaduct Photo: Marie Caley
4. Among Giants - old Vine Inn
